UPDATE: Warrick County teacher arrested, accused of voyeurism

BOONVILLE, Ind. - A Warrick County, Ind., teacher faces a preliminary voyeurism charge after a recording device was discovered in a Boonville Middle School restroom.

According to the Boonville Police Department, 30-year-old Andrew E. Emmons — a science teacher at the school — was arrested Thursday after another staff member discovered the device in what police called a "faculty restroom."

Warrick County Superintendent Brad Schneider said the room where the device was reportedly found is a restroom primarily used by some of the school's coaches and is off-limits to students. Schneider said the school corporation is cooperating with law enforcement and that Emmons has been placed on indefinite leave.

"We're going to cooperate fully in the investigation in any manner that we can," Schneider said Friday morning.

In a news release, Boonville police say electronic items were collected from Emmons' Newburgh home and workplace for analysis and that the investigation is ongoing.

Emmons has since been released from the Warrick County jail, a jail official said Friday morning.
